Very underrated artist, I think a lot of folks (novice music fans) get the idea that 70's soul\funk was essentially disco music.

Mayfield's first two early 70's albums "Curtis" and "Roots" remain to this day two of my favorites of the era outside the mega bands like Zeppelin and the Who.

Roots is especially good "Get Down" gets a lot of love, but it's the so-called filler tracks that separate that album from all of the post Super-Fly stuff.
